Group Work and Presentations
- Review Observe-Reflect-Question Primary Source Analysis tool (see “Teacher Resources” section)
- Model for students
- Divide students into groups and assign each group a theme and driving questions
- Each group will analyze sections of the newsletter that they identify as related to their theme, in addition to a packet of articles selected by the teacher
- Using a shared Google Doc (teacher provides real-time feedback) each group analyzes their sources using the Observe-Reflect-Question method and then responds to their driving Question
- Each group prepares to present their findings to their peers through an oral presentation and a creative activity; the presentation should highlight comparisons to the community today
- Using the jigsaw method, students are divided so that every student must present their groups work individually to a new group of peers
- As students listen to their peers presentations they fill out a worksheet (feedback, comparison)
- Students return to their groups to reassess and to create a tribute to the women of the Victory Bulletin
